Put an R2-D2 sock in it … Knock it off with this pathological need to sidle up to the nearest microphone to gab, yak, chat, hold court , shoot the breeze , riff or push platitudes like a guest speaker at a kindergarten class while hopped up on ecstasy :

“ Children , there is no ‘I’ in love. But there is a ‘U’ in ‘Justin’ and in ‘Trudeau.’ I am you. You are me. We are love. Now pick up your crayons and let’s draw a gender-neutral sun.”

Forget climate change , terrorism , potential war or a volatile stock market. The biggest threat to Canada right now ? It is our leader’s mouth.

Consider the global ridicule that emerged from a now viral clip. During a recent town hall in Edmonton , a young woman is asking a meandering question when Trudeau get distracted by a certain word, as if it’s a T-bone and he’s a Rottweiler. So he interrupts to gnaw on her questionable language.

Woman: “ . . . so that’s why we came here today to ask you to also look into the policies that religious charitable organizations have in our legislation so that it can also be changed , because maternal love is the love that’s going to change the future of mankind. So we’d like you …

Junior interjects ; ” We like to say ‘peoplekind,’ not necessarily mankind , because it’s more inclusive.”

Now , if such a tortured , ridiculous neologism had tumbled from the lips of another politician , he or she may have gotten a pass. Given the reaction of the woman and crowd …

“Exactly!” she squealed , as others laughed …

It’s possible Trudeau was playing on her query and engaging in some lighthearted self-mockery. Indeed , as peoplekind turned into peoplekind-gate on Wednesday , Trudeau blamed the brouhaha on bad comedy genes. He said peoplekind was just a “dumb joke.” But whether it was a botched punchline or a window into how the unicorns in his brain run wild , Trudeau should be deeply disturbed by how most of the international media now assume it was the latter. It wasn’t just conservative outlets that had a field day. Peoplekind spread like a virus , infecting Europe , Asia and South America with bouts of laughter. Trudeau didn’t get a pass on peoplekind because , at this point , his mouth has chewed up any benefit of the doubt. How can peoplekind be a dumb joke when it’s so damn believable ?

Due to his pandering obsession with identity politics , even his biggest admirers know he is probably capable of making up a word and insisting the change is good for all :

“ From this day forth , we shall refer to mangos as peoplegos.” Running the country as if it’s a social media thread punctuated by emojis and Likes — I’m sorry , but is that not what he does ? How can he possibly predict when the budget will be balanced when he’s touring more than U2 ? How can he govern like a policy wonk when he exists within a shallow realm of selfies and gibberish ? In fact , I’m now worried Trudeau may backtrack on this “dumb joke” explanation and make “peoplekind” compelled speech. If we as a nation are forced to contemplate the egalitarian benefits of “peoplekind,” there will be no time to ask questions about Canada Post, pipelines , military spending or NAFTA. There will be no time to follow up on any of the promises made by Trudeau’s mouth that were broken by Trudeau’s actions.

The more he talks , the more damage he inflicts on himself and, by extension , us. In the same town hall in which he made the peoplekind joke , Trudeau coldly told an ex-soldier who lost a leg in Afghanistan that the federal government is in court fighting over benefits because veterans groups are “ asking for more than we’re able to give.” He also bizarrely answered a question about the possible integration of ex-Daesh fighters into Canadian cities by riffing on discrimination faced by European immigrants who came here after the Second World War. Trudeau’s mouth has licked him into a corner. Trudeau’s mouth is now Trudeau’s greatest enemy. “ After climbing a great hill , one only finds that there are many more hills to climb,” observed Nelson Mandela. Or as Trudeau might call him , Nelson Peopledela. The problem here is the hills Trudeau will be forced to climb in the months ahead are constructed entirely from his hollow words. He says one thing and then either forgets he said it or does something else. It’s as if the country is run by a Magic 8 Ball.

So the forecast for Sunny Ways has changed dramatically , my friends. Storm clouds have gathered over the rhetorical prairies and verbal valleys. Our Prime Minister is getting heckled more than deadmau5 on a seniors cruise.

MORBNOTE ; Had to put this article in ( ALMOST ! ) in its’entirety … Got a kick out some of the guy’s lines … But something I’ve been saying from day one … Junior has always been a spoiled twerp that has no idea and thinks all the good vibes in the world will make everything ‘ OK ‘ …

A United Airlines passenger who tried to take her emotional support peacock with her on a cross-country flight has had the bird turned away by the airline because of health and safety concerns.New York City-based photographer and performance artist Ventiko says she bought a ticket for her peacock, Dexter, so he would have his own seat on Sunday’s flight from New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport to Los Angeles.A spokeswoman for Chicago-based United says the peacock didn’t meet guidelines for several reasons, including its size and weight. Spokeswoman Andrea Hiller says the issues had been explained to the passenger three times “before they arrived at the airport.”

Trump’s immigration stance has always been economic. At his core, the President is a liberal, insofar as that term means anything anymore. When he was appearing on Howard Stern’s show, and making money for NBC’s The Apprentice and guesting on NBC’s Days of Our Lives (which is why there was an Access Hollywood tape to begin with), everyone understood this.

Ideologues of Trumpism or Bannonism—which, as we are now seeing, never really existed—need not be mystified as to just how Ivanka Trump could have turned out to be such a liberal herself. There is no mystery here. Liberalism is the default position of all powerful Americans, including the Bushes, who support “same-sex marriage.” Some are just a little further to the right than others on the left-right spectrum of liberal America. Every one of them believes that, unlike all other countries, America is an Idea. They squabble over what exactly the Idea is, moving further left with each passing year, which is called “progress” and taught to America’s schoolchildren as such.

However coarsely put, Trump’s ideas about immigration reflect the fact that our current arrangement—where no argument against inviting future state-welfare recipients to the U.S. can be made without garnering accusations of racism—is unsustainable. It doesn’t take an Edmund Burke to recognize that there are a finite number of low-wage jobs in the U.S., and that filling them with illegal aliens (or paying to send the “Dreamers” to college) unbalances the scales for native-born citizens, whatever race they are. This is the message that Trump’s “Deplorables” responded to in November 2016.

So Trump refers to Haiti as a “sh-thole country” in that light, and Anderson Cooper, in turn, chokes back tears while describing the courage and bravery of Haitians, thus condemning Trump and his approach to immigration. What logic is this? Can brave and courageous people with dignity and value live in a “sh-thole”? Well. I happen to live in a city that the national media have gleefully described as a sh-thole for decades now. On every Sh-t List they can come up with, Rockford, Illinois, has a spot.

Russell, the former police captain, said he would have loved to return for light duty during his nearly three years off, but his superiors never called to offer him that chance.LAPD officials disputed that account, saying they have a policy of contacting employees who are out sick or injured every seven days, and that Russell was contacted at least 84 times.Villegas said Russell should not have needed any special accommodation because “the captain’s job is a desk job. Certainly you can come back to answer phones and respond to emails if you want to.”While it’s unlikely the department would bother pursuing charges years after the fact, Russell’s suggestion that he would’ve returned if contacted “may be evidence of criminal fraud,” Villegas said, because it implies Russell was actually able to work. “He’s suggesting that he’s healed if we would have called him,”

Villegas said.Russell’s time off began when he tore his right biceps reaching for a cooler in his garage before a Super Bowl party in 2012 !!!…

MORBNOTE ; This asshole has a desk job … PLUS !!! ‘ injures himself at home setting up the swillfest that goes on during EVERY Superbowl viewing !…

That wasn’t a work-related injury, but while recovering from surgery the pain spread.“I suddenly start having trouble with my wrists … just out of the blue,” Russell said. He was found to have carpal tunnel syndrome and had additional surgery.After a long stretch recovering from that, he returned to the office only to have the chair collapse beneath him. He wound up on the floor with a reinjured wrist and a newly injured back, Russell said.

This guy’s just a lazy , clumsy asshole that cashed in on a ridiculously unchecked system …

I had to have spinal surgery due to physically working over the course of 30 odd years crawling inside pipe and tanks and lugging steel on shears and machines … Then had to fight the government ( and medical system ) to finally get the surgery to scrape out the mutilated discs , replace them with synthetic ones and hold my bottom 5 vertebrae upright and together ..

That came from REAL work !!! … Not setting up the beer for the Superbowl pissup !!!…

She states , that while ‘ at work ‘ … 16 years ago !!! … Getting paid really good money for peeling her clothes off and engaging in physical sex !!! … ( and don’t give me this ‘ simulated ‘ sex ! … You agreed to have sex for money !!! … ) that Ron was ignoring her ‘ no’s ‘ and therefore ‘ assaulted ‘ her !!! …

Steele claims that she was ‘ assaulted ‘ again when they returned to his apartment. ” This was after so many times of saying no and realizing that wasn’t gonna work ” Steele claims.

Jeremy denies Steele’s allegations , telling Rolling Stone : ” Why would she decide to go to her rapist’s home ? … Give me a f—king break. It is just not true”…

MORBNOTE ; I figure that this is where a judge should be just that … a J-U-D-G-E !!! … Never mind all the lawyer bullshit wrangling of ‘ the letter of the law ‘ … And just step back and take a common sense look at the understanding of the situation …

If I was the presiding judge , I’d just say to her …

” If you felt uncomfortable with the situation , you should have thought out your career plans with greater diligence and chosen something other than the oldest profession on the planet !!! … CASE DISMISSED !!! ” …

A prominent CTV News reporter has been suspended, hours after a woman made sexual misconduct allegations against him.Bell Media’s vice president of communications said Paul Bliss, who works at CTV’s bureau in the Ontario legislature, has been suspended and an investigation is underway.

“Allegations have been made against a CTV News reporter,” Scott Henderson said in an email statement provided to The Canadian Press.”We take this very seriously and as a result have suspended Paul Bliss until an investigation is complete.”

The allegations were made in a blog post by Bridget Brown, who describes herself as a Calgary-based entrepreneur and former CTV employee.Under a Friday post titled “MeToo in Canadian Broadcasting,” Brown detailed an alleged sexual incident in the spring of 2006 involving an unnamed CTV reporter.

MORBNOTE; Obviously such a traumatic experience !!! … It took her 12 years to realize she was upset !! …

Brown wrote that when she began working at CTV, she reached out to a reporter she had met at a party a few weeks earlier and asked if he’d like to get coffee with her in the cafeteria and reconnect.The reporter “suggested instead I come to his office after his shift,” wrote Brown, and she agreed.Brown said the reporter showed her around “the storied building where he worked,” and ended the tour back in his office.She alleges that he then started kissing her and “pushing on the top of my head,” at which point she “bluntly” told him she wasn’t interested.Brown wrote that she kept silent about the alleged incident for 12 years, and had been struggling in recent months with whether to reveal it.

The one that REALLY demonstrates the sheer stupidity of it is the #METOO claims against a fucking porn star !!! … Ron Jeremy !!! …

Six years from now this bitch will feel all scummy because she wanted Ron to sign her right tit and will cry rape and mental anguish !!! …

Maurizio Cattelan’s ( aptly titled !!! ) ‘ America ‘ caused something of a sensation after the Guggenheim unveiled it in 2016 and more than a few headlines.

“WE’RE NO. 1! (And No. 2)” was the New York Post’s front page offering, the huge lettering over a photograph of the toilet. The tabloid’s coverage included a reporter’s first-person account (“I Rode the Guggenheim’s Golden Throne”) and a photograph of that reporter seated on the toilet (reading his own newspaper, naturally).

The museum posted a uniformed security guard outside the bathroom to monitor the “more than 100,000 people” who waited “patiently in line for the opportunity to commune with art and with nature,” Spector wrote in a Guggenheim blog post last year. Every 15 minutes or so, a crew would arrive with specially-chosen wipes to clean the gold.

Cattelan, 57, is well-known in the art world for his satirical and provocative creations, including a sculpture depicting Pope John Paul II lying on the ground after being hit by a meteorite. Another was a child-sized sculpture of an adult Hitler, kneeling. The artist’s works have sold for millions of dollars.Cattelan has resisted interpreting his work, telling interviewers he would leave that to his audience. He conceived of the gold toilet prior to Trump’s candidacy for president, though he has acknowledged that he may have been influenced by the mogul’s almost unavoidable place in American culture.

“It was probably in the air,” he told a Guggenheim blogger in 2016 as America went on display.Cattelan has also suggested that he had in mind the wealth that permeates aspects of society, describing the golden toilet “as 1 per cent art for the 99 per cent.” “Whatever you eat, a two-hundred-dollar lunch or a two-dollar hotdog, the results are the same, toilet-wise,” he has said.

MORBNOTE ; Although he’s not what I consider an ‘ artist ‘ , I like this guy ! … He’s got quite the biting wit !!! …
